I have learned that to get anything done in my sewing room, I need to only go in there to sew when the house is empty or all are asleep. I take my cordless phone to moniter any calls from the kids and sew. Of course dinner is either ready for heatup or a crockpot. The laundry has already been started. So I switch loads when I need to get up. The loads don't get folded until all are back that evening when I don't have to worry about it.
